h1RK TWAIN ON eaE snra.-
zAArk Twain. TIA hslsGaN says he
ssote thSoIlowi< ca46sition when
e. gitothe farmer as bis
sssacte z
agmag a 3ealthy work; but no
mag sn tuIA farm and wear his best
elOtte att hs, same time. Either the
farmkg. Hfrst cease while the new
clothes continue. or the new clothes
nust-cease while farming continues.
. This shows that farming is not so
cclean work as being Congressman or
6choolmaster, for these men can wear
good clothes if they can find money to
pay for them. (Laughter.) Farmers
get up early in the morning. They
say the early bird catches the worm.
: Ii l was bird, had rather get up
late aud eat cherries in place worms.
(Laughter.) Farmers don't paint their
wagons when they can help it, for
they show mud too quick. The color
of their boots is red, and don't look
like other peoples boots, because they
are twice as big. (Applause.) Far
ners wives cook for hired men, and
the hired men find fault. Great ap-
plsuse.) Farmers don't get as rich as
bank presidents, but they get more
exercise. prolonged laughter.) Some
ask, why don't farmers run for Con-
gress?" They run SO much keeping
boys out of their peach orchards and
melon patches they don't have any
time to run after anything else. If
Congress should run after farmers,
one might be caught now and then.
Lawyers can beat farmers at running
for most anything. | know farmer
who tried to run a line fence accord
ing to his notion. The other man OBJ
jected and hurt the farmer. The far
mer hired lawyer TO run his line
fence, and now the lawyer runs the
farmers farm and the farmer has
stopped running anything. Speaking
of running remainds me Of our calf
that ran away to the woods. There
were not enough men in the county to
catch that calf. We turned the old
COW loose into the woods and she
caught the calf, proving the old say
ing that it takes a cow to catch a
thief. (Laughter.)

THE WORK OF A MoMENT.-Did you
ever write letter. and Just as you
were finishing it, let your pen fall on
it, or drop Of ink blot the fair page?
1t was the work of moment, but the
evil could not be effectually effac ed.
Did you ever cut yourself unexpected
ly and quickly? 1t took days or weeks
to heal the wound and even then a scar
remained. 1t is related of Lord
Broughman, celebrated English no.
bleman, that one day he occupied a
conspicuous place in group to have his
daguerreotype taken. But at an un-
fortunate moment he moved. The
picture was taken, but his face was
blurred Doyou ask what application
should be made of these facts? Just
this: 1t takes a lifetime to build a
character, it only takes moment to
destroy it. Watch and pray there
fore that We enter not into temptation.
Let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall.

New York, March 29-No decision
as yet been taken by the Grant monu.
ment association toward securing de-
signs for the monument to General
Grant in Riverside park. Many mem
beers of the association think it as well
that work was not begun during the first
enthusiasm, even had sufficient funds foi
the monument been secured. The fund
for the monument, the cost Of which hal
been placed at $1,000, 900, has
reached about $l25.00 and
the amount has been placed by the ex.
eoutiye committee with a trust company
A humber of designs, sketches and sug-
g~estions have been received for the
monument from eminent artists 10
Europe and America. Among these is
one from the American sculptor, w. w.
Story, in Rome. His design is intended
for a colossal monument. The base
combines q square tabernacle oil
mausoleum form, and this is
surmountsd by q dome, and static
of Grant, with a figure of victory
ia front over the entrance and frieze on
the aides, illustrating the events oil

but IT would be imposing. ] can say

In America, and some such design would
be beautiful az we'll as grand and

Cincinns ii, March 26-Senator Sher.
was given an ovation when he was
ID ut the chamber OF commerce.
He mad 9 q ten minutes speech, in which
to the marvellous development
OF the of the sontb. The re-
mainfier Of his speech was devoted to q
critlcls ism OF congress for failing to pro-
vide for O reduction OF the surplus. He
expressed the hope that Secretary Fair
chud might be able to relieve the bust
ness world. This afternoon Sherman, as
q guest of Mayor Smith, visited the
Blame and Lincoln clubs.
Senator Sherman tonight addressed a
crowded meeting of woklngmen at Tur-
ber hall. He began his speech by declar-
ing that the effort to established O third
political party could only result IN
lnlurinR one or both of the great parties
without accomplishing its object. The
laboriDg man has more 60 hope for from
the republican party than from the new
party-his own. The great question
now to he solved Is how to divide
the results OF labor equ,tably between
the laborer and the capitalist the laborer
who does the work and the capitalist
who furnished the money. Labor and
capital are husband and wife they can't
be divorced. Some way should be
devised to adjust equitably the earnings
of labor and capital. This problem will
be solved. The democratic party Will
not do it. They would find o constitu-
%tional difficulty in the way Immediately.
1t will be solved some day. Perhaps a
w%orkingman will solve it, but it will be
in the republican party. He closed his
speech by referring to the prospects OF
the progress of the south and OF the ex-
tension of this country across the CARR
bean sea into South America. Elk
Governor Noyes then rose and proposed
three cheers. They were given with q
will and three more we're given for the
republican ticket. After that Senator
Sherman remained on the stage and
shook hands with such of the audience
as could get to him. He will remain
here over night.
